Golden Paints has just released a new archival spray varnish, that I believe can be used on oils. I find Golden's technical support and products excellent. They do a great deal of product research and are generally on the cutting edge. Mike Townsend has been very helpful and knowledgeable. www.goldenpaints.com |
Golden's new spray is indeed for paintings as well as pastels. This is a painting varnish spray I would be interested in using when I get back to painting. The folks at Golden have been working on this for a long time, doing great deal of testing and research. Somehow varnishing paintings gives me the hebeejeebies! I once brushed on a retouch varnish on a painting that wasn't quite ready and smeared the whole thing. What a mess!
